more operation mincemeat character designs. will redraw/clean these up and add more expressions as i continue to explore the characters and refine the proportions and style. i'm mostly happy with jean, i like hester but need to make sure i can draw her consistently, and i need to explore bevan more.

Sketches exploring a design for Jean, with a full body drawing and various expressions inspired by various character moments from the musical.

Sketches exploring a design for Hester, with a full body drawing and two expressions. One references the line "Bill has two 'L's." The other references the exchange "That is a lot of complicated stamps" / "Isn't it just?"

Sketches exploring a design for Bevan, with a full body drawing and two expressions. One is a face exploration with notes about differentiating him from Monty. The other features the line "You've made a stupid mistake."

to me montagu in operation mincemeat the musical is trapped in the infamous musical theatre narrator time loop purgatory where he is doomed to keep telling the story over and over but he is loving it.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

horrible butch and pathetic twink make an oc to impress their boss. and also it's wwii. (designing characters from the musical "operation mincemeat" in some kind of cartoon style)

Drawings of Charles and Monty in a cartoonish style, featuring the "Charles, please stop dry heaving!" and the scene where Monty tells Charles "Sorry about the 'father' thing. Bit weird," before saying to him, not 15 minutes later, "Father's never been more proud!"

Sketches of various Monty expressions and the line "He's gonna have to bend over and sit on--Johnnyyyyyyyyy!"

charles is the character who i have the clearest idea of re: designing operation mincemeat characters. however he is also the hardest to get onto the page the way i want in terms of like, posing and proportions. i'm working on it. i gotta get the lead two down so i can see how their designs interact

This is what happens whenever I see an OC question

Screenshot of a Tumblr post by avidcollectorofdust that says:
"having ocs is awesome. you go “ask me about my ocs” and then somebody asks and then suddenly youve never imagined anything ever"

my friend showed me a musical and it made me draw roseginger again #hathm

Ginger asks, looking befuddled and concerned, "THAT'S the moral?" Rosemary spreads her arms cheerfully and declares "YES IT IS!"!

Ginger, dubious, asks "So as long as you're in charge, you can do whatever you like forever?" Rosemary lets out a satisfied "Ahhhhhh!"

If you're an artist looking for some tools. Here's a list of all the tools I created over the years that run in your browser. Play around with color palettes, create 3d mockups for reference, pose figure for reference, create bushtip textures etc. artbuddy.urlich.ch

A hill I'll die on: Illustrations in novels should come back. Adults like pictures, too! A few older books I have contain wonderful woodcuts or inked drawings. I think they enhance the experience. Not necessary, but classy.

it's been a background project of mine to take the book cover redesigns I've done over the last couple years and make them into full dustjacket designs, for my own copies! #art #bookdesign

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...

something cheerful and seasonal

a vertical digital illustration depicting a dark winding staircase upon which a vampiric medieval noblewoman is ascending. she's holding a lit candelabra emitting a greenish light, and turning to the viewer with an expression of unbridled joy. the hem of her green gown and her right hand are soaked in blood. behind her are graphic, cut-out like shapes of dripping blood

Hoefenwives, for #mermay. Troxy void-jacks beware of faerie-lights out in Iron Shoals...

Illustration of a pair of space mermaids, know as hoefenwives to starfarers. They are resting on a rusty meteoroid infested with some sort of green fungus. They have blue translucent skin that reveals internal organs. Blinking bioluminescence covers their fan-like tails. They have upper bodies that are shaped like beautiful women, but their eyes glow ominously like a predatory cat. They have "hair" that looks more like the mane of a jellyfish.

wizard interview

PANEL 1: A shirtless tattooed wizard in sweatpants walking to a mobile home. WIZARD: "What's this now?"
PANEL 2: Wizard in closeup. WIZARD: "Problem is most people have tangled up their idea of wizardry with a pastoral never-was England."
PANEL 3: Wizard in medium shot, smoking. WIZARD: "But, well, Indiana needs wizards, too. An' maybe it ain't the worst thing in the world if we had more wizards who c'n change the oil in a car."
PANEL 4: Close up side view of the wizard's face, still smoking. WIZARD: "Like ev'rybody *loves* Gandalf. But Gandalf'll never teach a local kid how to shoplift baby formula to help his momma."
PANEL 5: Wizard in medium shot, looking down. WIZARD: "Nah, people don't like magic around. Reminds 'em they *could* have a different way of doing things than the one that hurts em so bad, an' lotsa folks can't handle that."

my burning question of "is the snow queen among the other andersen fairy tales that goodbye lara, a retelling of the little mermaid, takes supplemental inspiration from?" has been answered this week with a resounding "...maybe???"
